Kelly LeBrock is so Fab in Weird Science

A performance with wit, attitude, and warmth. Think about how much trashier it could have been with somebody else in the role.

Poor thing was married to the irredeemably crazy Purina lover Steven Seagal.

Putin not Purina. That's one of the better autocorrects I've seen.

I agree—she’s sly just to the edge of camp in this otherwise generic, but genial movie.

I remember reading that she replaced another model of that era, Kelly Emberg, in “Weird Science”. Never knew the circumstances, though.

Kelly LeBrock thinks she’s great, she’s just cold boogers on a paper plate.

She was great in this.

That movie would never be made today. None of them would. “chips, dips, chains, whips”

It really was an iconic performance.

Ha, my coworker and I were just quoting this film either today or yesterday - "you're out of shape Hal, I'll kick your ass"...lol

"Don't threaten me, Al!" My friends and I used to use that line all the time.

Her character in this is how I imagine Jetta of 'Jem & The Holograms' should look and act.

R6 "Candle wax on the nipples..." DIRTY! (And I mean that as a compliment to Ms. LeBrock.)

Well she's big as a house now. Sad.

She really was one of the most naturally beautiful women of her era,

Disagree. Kelly's role would be played by Lizzo.

She was so beautiful. The overbite gave her a goofy, relatable quality to balance out the beauty. She's very good in the role. Imagine if it was played by Tawny Kitaen or somebody.

Love her

^^^as a gayling I remember seeing that scene and wanting to transfer to whatever school it was where the bullies wore guyliner and looked like that.

I would have been all "Yes! Give me a wedgie! Shove me bodily into my locker! In fact, join me!" Etc.

How’d she get her hair like that? Just Pantene and hair spray?

R21, no, he shit in one of the teenage girls' trailers. She pissed him off somehow (probably swiped his lipsticks).

Cherry was dumb. And dreamy.

I absolutely LOVED this movie as a freshman in high school! I know how misogynistic it is. But it was fuckin' funny! This was "JOHN FUCKIN' HUGHES"! He was the king of teen cinema in the 80s! Love the guy to this day!!! RIP.
